On December 6, 1992 the 16th century Babri Masjid at Ayodhya was demolished by karsevaks and Hindu groups. This was an event that polarised India and led to communal riots in many parts of the country, along with thousands dead. This all stemmed from a dispute over the Ramjanmabhumi in Ayodhya where Lord Ram is believed to have been born. Hindu groups believe that a temple marking Lord Ram’s birthplace had been razed to build the Babri Masjid in 1528. The dispute over the area still on as a verdict on the what can be built is still awaited from the Supreme Court and unrest continues.
